David Thomas

Sydney, Australia

“Your presentation was well-prepared and ideally geared to our audience. Judging from the attentiveness of both the Prime Minister and the Port Moresby Governor, it wouldn’t surprise me if you have another invitation to visit PNG before too long” PNG Advantage Summit 2014

Our Comment

"David’s unique value lies in his ability to not only identify business trends, opportunities and challenges in the BRIC countries, but also his “hands on” experience from having worked on the ground in places like China for over 25 years. He illustrates and enhances his presentations with stories, case studies and anecdotes from his own personal experiences from working with investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders in both emerging and developed countries."
